===================
1.(i) INTRODUCTION
===================

Shenmue is a series of games from the creator of Virtua Fighter, Outrun, 
Hang-On, and many other classic games, Yu Suzuki. The games tell a 
continuous story set in Japan and the Orient in the late-1980's. A 
teenage martial artist, Ryo Hazuki, witnesses his father being killed 
by a Chinese cartel boss over a mystical mirror. Throughout the series 
which is so far known to span Japan, Hong Kong, and possibly China. 
Suzuki plans to release about 16 chapters but this looks increasingly 
unlikely.

The first instalment, Yokosuka, was released for the Dreamcast in Japan 
in late 1999 to great acclaim from players and the games press alike. 
Although the game was quite short, it was unparalleled graphically and 
anyone who sat through the entire game found it to be an incredible 
experience - even if you couldn't understand a word of it.

It came out in the US and Europe in 2000 to similar praise and became 
one of Dreamcast's best-selling games. For those who only played and 
didn't understand the Japanese version, the plot was great, by the way. 
As great as it was, though, there were many loose ends to tie up - who 
is that girl in Ryo's dreams? How does Chai fall into everything? Who 
exactly is Lan Di? Who did Iwao kill all those years ago?

Enter Shenmue II. It had been seen may times before at various trade 
shows, but it was obvious the graphics were even better, with more 
people on-screen and more detail. As it would take many years to 
release all 16 chapters seperately, Shenmue II is actually a 
compilation of chapters 2, 3, and 4. As I know there will be even 
more people who import this game without speaking Japanese (I got over 
1000 emails about Shenmue before it was even released in the US), and 
now, armed with nearly a years worth of Japanese lessons, I present my 
Shenmue II FAQ/Walkthrough. Don't forget to check out my Shenmue 
website at as you're here.

(ii) STORY
===========

[NOTE: This is the story from the PAL version manual of Shenmue II. 
You can see the story of the original by watching the 14-minute 
digest movie from the main menu of disc 4]

The year is 1986, the location is Yokosuka, Japan. It's a usual, 
tranquil day in the life of Ryo Hazuki, but suddenly it is forever 
shattered by the unexpected arrival of unwanted visitors. A man 
wearing dark green Chinese clothes appears at the Hazuki family 
home, followed closely by his black-suited thugs. Known as Lan Di, 
he uses his knowledge of the almighty kung fu and kills Ryo's 
father, Iwao, taking away a mysterious Mirror, which he clearly 
came for.

Vowing to seek revenge, Ryo embarks on a journey to find his 
father's killer, but to no avail.

Later, Ryo is given a letter addressed to his late father. The 
letter was sent by a man called Yuanda Zhu and warned of danger, 
but also told of a person that could be relied on if something 
happened. This person was called Master Chen and Ryo was eager 
to find him. He explained to Ryo that Lan Di was one of the 
leaders of the Chiyoumen, and based on the fact that he had 
already obtained one sacred mirror, he was likely to be in 
search of the other, as together they made a pair...

Ryo eventually found the mirror, also known as the Phoenix 
Mirror, but was still eager to seek Lan Di and avenge his 
father's death. Master Chen told of news that Lan Di had left for 
Hong Kong, so Ryo decided to pursue, but an unknown attacker 
decided to make his move and punish Ryo once and for all.

Strong willed and fighting off his attacker, Ryo also came face 
to face with the Mad Angels, closely connected with the 
Chiyoumen. With the help of Guizhang, Master Chen's son, they 
put and end to the wrath of the Mad Angels. Master Chen then 
gave Ryo a letter, which introduced a man called Lishao Tao, he 
would help once Ryo departed for Hong Kong.

Who is Yuanda Zhu, the sender of the letter?
What is the hidden mystery behind the Phoenix Mirror?
Where is Lan Di, the killer of Ryo's father?

Ryo arrives in Hong Kong with many questions unanswered, as he 
begins his journey to seek the truth behind these mysteries.

(iv) FAQ
=========

Email me your questions at nekofever@hotmail.com. I'll email you an 
answer and also add the question and answer here.

Q. SHOULD I PLAY THE ORIGINAL BEFORE I PLAY THIS GAME?
A. Definitely. A lot happens in the first game, which may leave you 
a bit lost in this game. Also, your Shenmue save will be used in this 
game so that you keep Ryo's stats for before. If you raise your 
character a lot in the first game it will benefit you by having a 
stronger character at the start of the game. Not to mention the 
Mysterious Scroll that you get in Shenmue I that is in Chinese and 
no-one could translate fully in Yokosuka.

Q. DO I NEED TO HAVE PLAYED THE ORIGINAL?
A. No you don't have to. It is recommended that you do though.

Q. WHERE CAN I GET THIS GAME?
A. The game is no longer coming out in the US for DC, so unless you 
either import the Japanese version or import the PAL version from 
the UK you'll have to wait until Q3 2002 and buy a $300 X-Box if you 
want to play it. I'd recommend buying either a PAL or Japanese 
version, both of which will be available from Video Game Centre or Computer Exchange

Q. DO YOU STILL PLAY AS RYO IN THIS GAME?
A. Yes, it's a continuation of the first game.

Q. WILL YOU MEET THAT GIRL FROM RYO'S DREAMS IN SHENMUE II?
A. She is Ling Sha Hua and you will meet her in Hong Kong. She has 
been seen in various movies of Shenmue II on the Internet, along with 
the new female supporting characters such as Joy.

Q. MOVIES ON THE INTERNET? WHERE?
A. Try dc.ign.com, or There are 
also videos with the Japanese Fighting Vipers 2 for Dreamcast and if 
you see the Shenmue Movie in Japan you'll get a little preview.

Q. NOW THAT THE DC IS DEAD WILL SHENMUE II COME OUT ON ANOTHER 
CONSOLE?
A. Yes, but only in the US. In the US it will come out in late 2002 
for Microsoft's X-Box. Yes it sucks, but you can buy a Japanese 
version (in Japanese) or a PAL version (in English) from the UK. 
If you have a US DC you'll need something to play imports. I'd 
recommend either a mod chip, DC-X boot disc, or a Gameshark.

Q. WILL THERE BE A SHENMUE III?
A. Although Yu Suzuki originally said that he wanted 16 chapters of 
the Shenmue saga, this statement was made back in the glory days of 
the Dreamcast. Now that the DC is being euthanased we don't know what 
will happen after Shenmue II, but I think that Suzuki will end the 
series on DC with this one. At least if he does that he'll silence 
those annoying little people who email me to ask if I can make 
Shenmue II the last game in the series - I DON'T MAKE THE GAME!

Q. SHOULD I IMPORT THE GAME OR WAIT?
A. It depends. You could wait for the X-Box version but you'll need 
to buy Microsoft's $300 X-Box as well as wait until late 2002, but 
I'd recommend either buying the Japanese version (which is in 
Japanese) or a PAL version from the UK this November (in English).

Q. WHERE CAN I IMPORT A COPY?
A. Here is Olly's Definitive Import Store Guide™:

    UK-Based:
    ---------
    
    US-Based:
    ---------

At least one of those will be able to help you out and they all ship 
anywhere in the world. If you live in the US and want to import a 
Japanese copy I'd recommend using a US-based importer but if you 
want the PAL English-language version one use a UK-based one.

===========
(v) REVIEW
===========

**This review can be found at:

The original Shenmue was released as the first in an epic saga about 
a young man in Japan who witnesses his father being murdered by a 
mysterious Chinese cartel boss. The game was revolutionary both 
aesthetically and in gameplay terms. It had flaws, but was almost 
universally praised as the true future of gaming. 

Shenmue II was planned along with Shenmue, and when it was finally 
released in Japan in early September 2001 I was down at my local 
importer faster than you can say 'obsessed'. I had to pay £60 ($86) 
for the special edition, but was it worth it. Absolutely. Definitely. 
Yes. 

Graphics:
--------- 
The graphics in Shenmue II, like in the prequel, are stunning. 
Considering the Dreamcast is over 3 years old the visuals that it is 
capable of are incredible. Granted, there is some slowdown in busy 
areas, the fade-in is still there and there is a nasty shimmering 
effect, but when you see what your DC is pushing around you will be 
amazed. The sleepy streets of Yokosuka are far behind - this is 
bustling Hong Kong and the atmosphere is incredible. The minor NPC's 
still look weird but the character detail is even better than before. 
10/10 

Sound:
------ 
The original was renowned for it's brilliant and epic soundtrack 
that rivaled any major Hollywood movie. Unfortunately in my opinion 
Shenmue II doesn't quite manage to equal it. This is by no means a 
bad thing as the music is still suitably epic-sounding, but I just 
don't find the more Chinese music as good as the more Japanese 
material in Shenmue. It still contains a lot of the original music 
but it's not the same in the new contexts. The voice acting is 
still as high as the Japanese original (and thankfully infinitely 
better than the robotic English Shenmue voices). This would easily 
be a 10 if it had retained more of the original music. 
9/10 

Gameplay:
--------- 
If you've played the original you'll know what to expect - this is 
one of the most engrossing adventure games you can play. You can 
explore anywhere, talk to anyone, and if you can see something 
happening (arm wrestling, street fighting, etc) chances are you can 
join in and even win money from it. There is a lot more action in 
this game than in the prequel and there is no longer any more 
tedious waiting for appointments thanks to a useful time-skip 
feature. Also now if you want money you don't have to work the 
forklift. Now you can carry crates, arm wrestle, fight, pawn off 
your toys from Shenmue I, or gamble on a variety of games. It 
makes for a lot more FREE (pun intended) experience. 
10/10 

Lifespan:
--------- 
The game will take you about 20 hours if you take the time to play 
all the little games, explore everywhere, and take in the atmosphere. 
If you're anything like me though you'll play it through again which 
will take about 10-15 hours. There is a lot of fun to be had if you 
work through this game slowly, enjoying all the little details. 
10/10 

Overall:
-------- 
This is more than a game, it's an experience. If you want your DC to 
go out with a bang you really have to get this game either on 
Japanese import or PAL import if you live in the US. It is absolutely 
incredible and any flaws really are minor and pointing them out would 
be nitpicking. Worth every penny and an instant classic. 

10/10

=============================
(vi) CHARACTERS INTRODUCTION
=============================

RYO HAZUKI - The main character. He arrived in Hong Kong to continue 
the chase to catch his father's killer, Lan Di. He is polite but has 
a short temper when it comes to thugs. Just ask the Mad Angels from 
Yokusuka, they'll second that!

SHENHUA REI - The mysterious girl in Ryo's dreams from Shenmue I. You 
won't reallyfind out more about her until way later on in the game.

LISHAO TAO - Lishao Tao is one of the main reasons why Ryo is heading 
to Hong Kong.Master Chen helped in sending you here just to meet this 
person. Will the connectionbetween Ryo's father and the mirrors be 
explained?

LAN DI - The big bad guy of Shenmue and a major player in the Chinese 
Chiyoumen organization.He is a master of a little-known martial art 
which makes him highly lethal, as he managed to kill Iwao Hazuki and 
injure Ryo Hazuki who are both master martial artists without breaking 
into a sweat or being hit once. A highly dangerous foe. No wonder 
Ine-san tried to stop Ryo from following him to Hong Kong.

JOY - Not much is known about this hot biker girl as she has only been 
seen in a few videos and pictures. The one time she has been seen so far 
is when she nearly runs over Ryo on her bike. You'll meet up with her 
near the beginning of the game a few times - is she a friend or a foe?

(vii) LOCATIONS
================

Area:        ABERDEEN
Subareas:    Worker's Pier, Fortune's Pier, Queen's Street, Beverly 
             Hills Wharf.
Description: This is the first area and it is full of shops, guides, 
             and thieves who prey on tourists who come in from the 
             piers. Beverly Hills Wharf is a very dangerous place 
             occupied by the Heavens gang who don't take kindly to 
             intruders, although their leader Ren knows information 
             that is essential to your journey.

Area:        WAN CHAI
Subareas:    Green Market Qr, South Carmain Qr, Wise Man's Qr, 
             Golden Qr, White Dynasty Qr, Lucky Charm Qr.
Description: This is the market area which is located on the other 
             side of King's Street to Aberdeen. Each of the quarters 
             is full of shops of certain types. This is the area 
             where you will spend much of discs 1 and 2 as you go 
             find information from the various martial artists who 
             are found in this area.

Area:        KOWLOON
Subareas:    Dragon Street, Thousand White Qr, Dimsum Qr, Stand Qr, 
             Yellow Head Building, various smaller buildings and 
             gardens.
Description: This is where disc 3 is spent. Compared to the other 
             areas it is massive and the skyscrapers only make it 
             seem even bigger. No matter how big it appears from 
             the ground it gets much bigger when you get the chance 
             to explore the buildings. You have to be very careful 
             here because Kowloon is home to the massive Don Nui and 
             his Yellow Head Syndicate.

Area:        GUILIN
Subareas:    Langhuishan, Green Field, Yingshuihe, Deep Green Way, 
             Crag, Rocky Area, Shenhua's House, Cloud Bird Trail, 
             Stone Pit
Description: The final area is where the fourth disc takes place. 
             A large river flows through this place which contains 
             forests, mountains, a village, fields, and many 
             beautiful landmarks. It also holds the secret to the 
             Dragon and Phoenix Mirrors.

======================================
(viii) CHANGES TO THE ENGLISH VERSION
======================================

Unlike the original, the US version of Shenmue II is going to be 
subtitled into English only. It _will not_ be dubbed like the first 
game was. Don't worry though, because I thought that the below-average 
English dub took away from the atmosphere of the game - after all, not 
everyone in Japan speaks English. I think the system for signs from the 
first game will be retained in which looking at a Japanese sign will 
make the translation appear as a subtitle.

The original name changes remain, as well as a couple of other changes:

JP NAME     -> US NAME
Souryu      -> Lan Di
Shenhua Rei -> Shenhua Ling
Cool J      -> Cool Z

[NOTE: Cool J's name was changed to prevent legal problems from the 
rapper LL Cool J]

------------------------------

=========================
2.(i) DISC 1 WALKTHROUGH
=========================

This is mostly a step-by-step guide to the game, so I wouldn't recommend 
following it straight through, so take some time to explore the huge 
environments, otherwise you'll finish the game very quickly and you would 
have wasted a fair bit of money.

Now turn on your Dreamcast, sit back, and watch the intro credits and 
movie...

[NOTE: THIS IS THE START OF SHENMUE CHAPTER 2]

- Ryo gets off the boat on the Worker's Pier, Aberdeen, Hong Kong, on 
1/18/1987.

- Read Master Chen's letter - it tells you to go to find a man called 
Lishao Tao who can be found in Yan Tin Apartments, South Carmain Qr, Wan 
Chai.

- Walk forward until you get a cut-scene with some musicians. They pay 
you a song that supposedly brings luck to travellers. You can choose 
whether to pay them HK$100 or not (pay <--> don't). If you do, the woman 
will point you towards Wan Chai.

- Continue on past the annoying photographer and tour guides. A woman 
with a young girl will tell you to watch out for the photographer who 
will pester you later and will show you where you can stay and save for 
free. Go there and buy a map from the dispenser (HK$10) and if you must, 
buy some Gotcha-gotcha eggs.

- Inside, pressing A will bring up the following menu:

        sleep
          ^
  save <--|--> options
          v
        quit

There's a free winning can on the shelves at the back - you know you 
want it! If you look in the drawer next to this you will find a forklift 
Gotcha-gotcha, and you can take the flier for the Honest Pawn Shop on 
the table.

- Take this opportunity to save, then leave and continue on past the 
fortune teller to the next section of the Worker's Pier.

- As you walk along you'll get an opportunity to armwrestle in a 
competition against a big Mexican wrestler, Jimenez Garcia. The promoter 
will offer you help if you can beat the armwrestler. Agree to a match 
(left option) and pay your HK$10 bet. In the match, bash A as fast as 
you can and be ready to press left in a QTE at least once. You get 
HK$100 for winning, and you can play again if you want by pressing left 
again when given the option. It's much tougher the second time. When 
you've finished the promoter will give you directions to Wan Chai.

- Continue on and meet Joy, one of the new heroines. She warns you about 
thieves in Hong Kong - HEED THIS WARNING!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ NOTE: In a while from now you will be mugged and will lose all your   ~
~ money. This is unavoidable but you can save some of your money. Your  ~
~ most profitable option is to find the stall along the waterfront that ~
~ sells Zippo lighters. Spend all your money on them at HK$50 each and  ~
~ you can sell them at a pawnbrokers for HK$20 each. This means you     ~
~ will retain 40% of your money.                                        ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Follow the signs to Wan Chai. Don't worry, they're in English.

- As you enter Wan Chai you'll have your first encounter with the Heavens 
gang. They've stolen your bag! Ryo will attempt to chase them but they 
will have split up and he'll lose them.

- Head to Queen's Street and walk up to the restaurant with the drunken 
heavies and they'll attempt to fight you to get some money. Before the 
fight starts, Joy will appear and break it up. She tells you to look 
near the fountain in Pigeon Park to find Wong, the boy who stole your 
bag.

- Go to the fountain you saw previously and head towards the waterfront. 
You will see Wong playing near the buildings. A QTE follows, and the 
sequence is A, left, right, A, B, left, left, right, A, right, down, A. 
If you succeed you'll have to fight two Heavens until Wong returns your 
bag. If you fail this time read on...

- Go to the Lai Lai Eatery (you passed it during the last QTE) and ask 
the woman in green about Wong. She tells you where he is - just around 
the corner.

- Go where she pointed and you'll find Wong drinking with friends with 
your money. He'll run and you'll have another, shorter QTE.

- If you fail again head to the fountain and look for the alley that the 
boy ran down. Go into the Lai Lai Eatery and free battle the two Heavens. 
Win the fight and the boy will appear. If you lose go to the fountain and 
free battle again.

- When you manage to beat them follow Wong and he'll return your bag 
(minus your money!!!!). He tells you that the guys gambled away your 
money, but to say sorry he tells you about a guy in a Guest House in Wan 
Chai who can help you. He'll draw you a map to the guest house.

- If it's not closed go into the Big Catch Tackle Shop on Queen's Street 
and get the picture of Wong with a fish.

- Go all the way through Queen's Street and across the bridge.

- Cross the bridge over King's Road to enter Wan Chai.

- Continue following the map until Joy finds you. She'll tell you to get a 
discount from the Come Over Guest House by saying her name.

- Enter and get your room key (203) and go up to your room. After putting 
your bag safely into the closet save and go to sleep. If it's still day 
leave and go back the way you came. You'll meet a man outside a shop 
trying to straighten a sign. Help him and he'll tell you where to go next.

- The next day your watch alarm wakes you at 7:45am and Joy pulls up 
outside.

- She takes you to Fortune's Pier where you can work for Mr Sun carrying 
crates until 1pm. Listen to what your partner Delin says - hidari means 
left, migi means right, and anything else he says means up. You'll get 
HK$10 per crate.

- When you finish work you can gamble in one of the numerous gambling 
spots in Fortune's Pier. Just ask anyone about gambling (Y) and they'll 
take you to a place. I wouldn't risk it now that you're so low on funds.

- If you return to Wan Chai via Pigeon Park you'll have a cut-scene with 
the annoying photographer from the start of the game.

- Head in the direction of your guest house but head right instead of 
left at the T-junction in Wan Chai. Continue on past the Guang Martial 
Arts School where some martial artists are training and go up the steps 
into South Carmain Qr.

- Walk straight ahead and enter Lotus Park. There's a short cut-scene 
with Jianmin, the sensei training under the tree. Spar with him and he'll 
tell you where to find Yan Tin Apartments

- Continue on and when the street branches take the right fork.

- Ryo should pause when you reach the Yan Tin Apartments. Enter the 
building and there will be a cut-scene with an old woman who thinks 
you're a land shark trying to buy the building.

- Note the room number that you need - #205. Go up one floor and 
knock on the door of the room. The guy will tell you that Lishao Tao who 
you're looking for has moved away but he'll only tell you where if you 
pay him. If you have it give him HK$50 and he'll tell you that he's at 
the Man Mo-something [sic] in Wise Man's Qr. If you want to you can go 
up to the top floor and talk to the guy at the end of the corridor - 
it's the brother of the waiter from the Ajiichi restaurant in Yokosuka!

- Leave the apartments and follow the signs for Man Mo China/Wise Man's 
Qr.

- Ask passers-by for directions (they'll point out the route - listen 
to what they say, hidari = left, migi = right) until you find signs for 
Scarlet Hills. Follow them and go up the tall steps when you reach them.

- Enter the Man Mo Temple on the left. Inside you'll meet Xiuying and a 
priest, Hanhui. Hanhui know's Tao but he'll only take you to meet him if 
you know about the four 'Wude'.

- Head back to Wise Man's Qr. and you'll get another short scene with 
Xiuying. She'll tell you that you should ask a martial artist about 
Wude.

- Walk ahead and enter the Wise Man's Kung Fu shop. Inside talk to the 
owner about Wude. He'll tell you to go to Guang Martial Arts School and 
ask the sensei, Master Zhoushan.

- Return to Green Market Qr. via South Carmain Qr. and enter the Guang 
Martial Arts School you saw earlier.

- Talk to Master Zhoushan on the raised platform about Wude. He tells 
you that he has no right to talk about Wude because he has ruined 
another man's life. You must find his expelled student who works as 
a street performer in Golden Qr.

- Go to Golden Qr. and enter the mall (ask any passer-by the right 
option and they'll take you to it). Go right from the entrance and 
walk up to the down-and-out on the floor. He is Zongquan, the 
expelled student This will activate a cut-scene in which he'll tell 
everyone you're a karate expert from Japan who will break a rock for 
them. Press A when the bar is as full as possible and again when it 
fills again. Ryo should break the rock.

- When Ryo tells Zongquan about his sensei he'll give you a letter 
to take back to Guang Martial Arts School. Take it back and there 
will be a cut-scene in which Zhoushan will tell you about the first 
Wude that Zongquan broke by becoming a martial arts street 
performer: JIE - never showing your skills thoughtlessly. Talk to 
Zhoushan again and he'll tell you to ask Jianmin, the sensei in 
Lotus Park in South Carmain Qr about the second Wude.

- Return to Lotus Park and talk to Jianmin. Spar with him and he'll 
teach you a new move, the Tai Chi Iron Palm (X+A). When you've done 
it he says that he'll tell you the next Wude if you cover the floor 
in leaves from the tree by using the move on it. Practice on the tree 
until the bar on your VMU screen is full. You MUST fill the bar to get 
the note that allows you to progress. Try and time it so that the 
power bar is as high as possible. When you finish he'll tell you the 
second Wude: GON - practicing every day without fail.

- Go back and ask Zhoushan about a martial artist again. He'll tell 
you about a martial artist called Zhangyu who owns a barber in 3 
Blades Street, Lucky Charm Qr.

- Find Lucky Charm Qr. Head  down 3 Blades Street (tailors, cook, 
and barber - like in Shenmue) and enter Zhangyu Barber's.

- Zhangyu agrees to tell you about the third Wude while he trims you 
hair. He tells you not to move no matter what happens. He'll then put 
his razor to Ryo's throat. You'll have a quick QTE but _DO NOT_ press 
anything - he's just testing Ryo's cool. This is the third Wude: DAN - 
judge with a clear mind.

- After this he'll tell you about the Bloom Tailor down the street 
where many martial artists get their clothes made. Leave the shop and 
turn left to get there. The owner will tell you about Guixhang who 
lives in Yan Tin Apartments.

- Go to the Yan Tin Apartments and free battle the large gang of land 
sharks who are annoying the old woman who you saw before outside in 
the construction site. After you win the old woman will reveal herself 
to be Guixhang. She tells you that the last Wude is do not hesitate to 
do the right thing. Unfortunately she forgot the name, but Master Mo 
at Man Mo Temple will know.

- Go to Wise Man's Qr, then to Scarlet Hills and the Man Mo Temple.

- The guy outside won't let you in. When the two options pop up 
(negotiate <--> break in) choose break in. Ryo will divert the man's 
attention - take the opportunity to enter the temple. Inside choose 
the left option to clean the soot off the walls. Wipe the walls in 
the following places:
 ______________
|  2.|___|     |
|              |
| |          | |
| |          | |
| |          | |
| |          | |1.
| |          | |
| |          | |
| |          | |
|_____\  /_____|

- When you uncover the second one it'll reveal the final Wude - YI. 
Xiuying and Hanhui will appear and you'll find out that Xiuying is 
Lishao Tao! Ryo will follow her outside.

- You will have to fight Xiuying but she'll dodge every one of your 
attacks and will eventually move in and overpower you. She'll hand 
you a map to her apartment where you'll be staying.

- Follow the map meet her outside her apartment block, Da Yuan 
Apartments. The easiest route is straight down the steps from the 
temple, straight ahead to Wise Man's Kung Fu, right, and then right 
again at the junction. Approach Xiuying.

- Follow her upstairs - you are now staying in her apartment at 
night.

END OF DISC 1

========================
(ii) DISC 2 WALKTHROUGH
========================

- You'll be woken in Xiuying's room by Fangmei Xun, Xiuying's 
assistant. She'll greet you ("ohayo gozaimasu" - "good morning") 
and you'll be taken to the yard of the Man Mo Temple.

- Here you have a job to do until 12pm. You must carry piles of 
books from the library to the tables outside in order to air them 
out. Press A to pick up a pile, then hold R to carry them outside 
(steering is automatic). The further down you hold it the faster 
Ryo will walk, but you will have to be ready for some QTEs on the 
directional buttons - the faster you walk the faster the QTEs come. 
You'll do this every day for a while so get used to it. If you 
manage to carry every pile you'll get a cut-scene with Xiuying. 
When you finish Hanhui will give you a move scroll (this happens 
every day).

- You can't leave Wise Man's Qr so ask the owner of the antique 
shop at the bottom of the steps leading to Scarlet Hills if she 
knows anything about Yuanda Zhu. She knows that he founded the 
5 Star Corp and wrote a martial arts book called the Walinshu. 
She says maybe the Wise Man's Kung Fu Shop has a copy. Go there.

- Ask the shopkeeper about the Wulinshu and he'll tell you that 
the only copy is kept in the Man Mo Temple Library. The library 
will be locked so choose the left option to pass the time until 
the next day. Then you can air out the books until you finish. 
If you finish it completely once more you will be taught a new 
move, Lunging Strike (forward+X+A), by Hanhui.

- At 12pm you can stop, so go into the library and into the back 
left corner. Press A to inspect the cabinet and Ryo will see a 
book that he needs - the Wulinshu. Unfortunately the cabinet is 
locked.

- Go outside and head for the front of the temple. As you go 
round the corner Xiuying will stop you. Ryo asks for the book, 
but she wants you to clear the revenge from your mind before she 
thinks you're worthy of the key. To do this you must catch the 
leaves like she does.

- When you're in first-person mode, use the analogue stick to 
focus on a leaf and keep it as central as possible, and when you 
see motion blur on the leaf and hear a chime as you follow it 
down press A. You should catch it but if you don't just try again.

- Afterwards, Xiuying wants you to do it three times in a row to 
prove that it wasn't a fluke and that your mind is truly clear. 
Follow the same tactic as above but just do it three times. If 
you miss one you'll have to start again.

- When you succeed at it three times she'll stop torturing you 
and hand over the key. Go and unlock the cabinet and get the book. 
When you see that the master of Tiger Swallow Style Kung Fu is 
Sunming Zhao, Ryo will have a flashback about Lan Di (his first 
appearance in Shenmue II!!) because Sunming Zhao is the man that 
Iwao Hazuki killed. You'll get a scrap of paper which falls out 
(this and the following cup sequence is explained in section 
2(ix).
